Huzzah! Genius lady Maux has pointed me in the right direction. It IS suzani....a Mexican suzani in fact. See more amazing suzanis and meet the great Australian blogger who's wheeling and dealing them at Table Tonic.
Suzani: From the Persian word for "needle." Refers to embroidered hangings or fabric coverings. A decorative tribal textile.
Well thank God that's over.

I am obsessed with Suzani and will often search on Ebay for pillowcases to frame...most are very affordable!
